China's 12-cable deep-water geophysical prospecting ship HaiYang Shi You 720 completed the country's first 3-dimensional seismic survey in the Arctic on Tuesday.
It is the first time that China carries out such a survey in a polar region on Earth, marking that fact that the country now has the capability to do the survey in all waters around the Earth.
The seismic vessel implemented the explorations amid complex conditions in waters at latitudes higher than 75 degrees north in the Barents Sea, more than 900 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.
"Crew of the Hai Yang Shi You 720 completed 4,100 square kilometers of 3D seismic survey in the Barents Sea within more than three months. The exploration areas are close to the North Pole and 300 kilometers away from the nearest land. As China's first geophysical prospecting ship to reach a polar region, the vessel has set a new data-collection record of 1,820 square kilometers per month," said Chen Zhiwei, crew manager of Hai Yang Shi You 720.
The vessel was built by the China Oilfield ServicesLimited (COSL), the leading integrated oilfield services providers in the Asian offshore market.

A research vessel (RV or R/V) is a ship or boat designed and/or equipped to carry out research at sea. Research vessels carry out a number of roles. Some of these roles can be combined into a single vessel but others require a dedicated vessel. Due to the demanding nature of the work, research vessels are often constructed around an icebreaker hull, allowing them to operate in polar waters.

Seismology

Seismology (/saɪzˈmɒlədʒi/; from Greek σεισμός "earthquake" and -λογία "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies. The field also includes studies of earthquake environmental effects, such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes (such as explosions). A related field that uses geology to infer information regarding past earthquakes is paleoseismology. A recording of earth motion as a function of time is called a seismogram. A seismologist is a scientist who does research in seismology.

History

Scholarly interest in earthquakes can be traced back to antiquity. Early speculations on the natural causes of earthquakes were included in the writings of Thales of Miletus (c. 585 BCE), Anaximenes of Miletus (c. 550 BCE), Aristotle (c. 340 BCE) and Zhang Heng (132 CE).

History

The research ship had origins in the early voyages of exploration. By the time of James Cook's Endeavour, the essentials of what today we would call a research ship are clearly apparent. In 1766, the Royal Society hired Cook to travel to the Pacific Ocean to observe and record the transit of Venus across the Sun. The Endeavour was a sturdy boat, well designed and equipped for the ordeals she would face, and fitted out with facilities for her "research personnel", Joseph Banks. And, as is common with contemporary research vessels, Endeavour carried out more than one kind of research, including comprehensive hydrographic survey work.

Disaster planners set to benefit from research ship's seismic survey off New Zealand's East Coast

"Unprecedented" 3D imagery of Hikurangi subduction zone hopes to hold the key to secrets of "slow slip" quakes.
The US research vessel, the Marcus Langseth with a group of international scientists on board, has arrived back in the port of Napier after five weeks away mapping fault lines off the North Island's East Coast.
"It's not just a map it's even better than that, it helps us make a 3D image of the subduction system so we can see all the faults in their complexity," lead geophysicist Dr Harold Tobin told 1 NEWS.
Researchers have been setting off over 40 sound sources in the water attached to 24 kilometres of cables with pressure sensors attached called seismic streamers.
They record the echoes that bounce back off the ocean bed.
The data is recorded every 30 seconds every day for...

#oilwire - Schlumberger has announced that WesternGeco has completed a hybrid seismic acquisition survey using their newly deployed multi-purpose vessel (MPV)—a first in the industry. The 340 km2 3D seismic survey was acquired offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, for Roc Oil using a triple source array with simultaneous recording by ocean-bottom nodes and a towed-streamer spread, all from a single seismic vessel.
The WG Vespucci MPV acquired the high-quality ocean-bottom seismic (OBS) data required around existing platform obstructions supplemented by streamer seismic data. Simultaneously acquiring the OBS and streamer data without having to employ multiple acquisition vessels and crews resulted in cost reduction and greater efficiency while achieving the survey objectives.

Former Green Party co-leader Russel Norman has jumped into the chilly seas off Wairarapa to obstruct an oil survey ship today.
Along with two others Dr Norman, who is now the chief executive of Greenpeace, jumped into the ocean in the path of the seismic survey ship AmazonWarrior.
Greenpeace said this afternoon that after asking the ship to halt over the radio yesterday, they had today sent swimmers into the water, forcing the Amazon Warrior to deviate from its path and potentially disrupting its survey operations.
The environmental group is conducting these activities because it says seismic surveying is damaging to marine life, including whales, and also because the discovery of oil could mean a deep-water drilling operation could take place, potentially damaging the environment

"Unprecedented" 3D imagery of Hikurangi subduction zone hopes to hold the key to secrets of "slow slip" quakes.
The US research vessel, the Marcus Langseth with a group of international scientists on board, has arrived back in the port of Napier after five weeks away mapping fault lines off the North Island's East Coast.
"It's not just a map it's even better than that, it helps us make a 3D image of the subduction system so we can see all the faults in their complexity," lead geophysicist Dr Harold Tobin told 1 NEWS.
Researchers have been setting off over 40 sound sources in the water attached to 24 kilometres of cables with pressure sensors attached called seismic streamers.
They record the echoes that bounce back off the ocean bed.
The data is recorded every 30 seconds every day for 30 days, creating a detailed map of layers beneath the sea floor.
"We can see the strong spots or the week spots on the fault or the places where it's got complex structure and places it's got simple structure and all that helps seismologist and geologist."
It's hoped the mapping will help better understand the phenomenon of "slow slip" earthquakes which occurring frequently in the Hikurangi subduction zone.
Dr Dan Barker from GNS Science who has been on the vessel the past five weeks says the shaking from "slow slip" earthquakes isn't felt.

#oilwire - Schlumberger has announced that WesternGeco has completed a hybrid seismic acquisition survey using their newly deployed multi-purpose vessel (MPV)—a first in the industry. The 340 km2 3D seismic survey was acquired offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, for Roc Oil using a triple source array with simultaneous recording by ocean-bottom nodes and a towed-streamer spread, all from a single seismic vessel.
The WG Vespucci MPV acquired the high-quality ocean-bottom seismic (OBS) data required around existing platform obstructions supplemented by streamer seismic data. Simultaneously acquiring the OBS and streamer data without having to employ multiple acquisition vessels and crews resulted in cost reduction and greater efficiency while achieving the survey objectives.

Former Green Party co-leader Russel Norman has jumped into the chilly seas off Wairarapa to obstruct an oil survey ship today.
Along with two others Dr Norman, who is now the chief executive of Greenpeace, jumped into the ocean in the path of the seismic survey ship AmazonWarrior.
Greenpeace said this afternoon that after asking the ship to halt over the radio yesterday, they had today sent swimmers into the water, forcing the Amazon Warrior to deviate from its path and potentially disrupting its survey operations.
The environmental group is conducting these activities because it says seismic surveying is damaging to marine life, including whales, and also because the discovery of oil could mean a deep-water drilling operation could take place, potentially damaging the environment

A research vessel (RV or R/V) is a ship or boat designed and/or equipped to carry out research at sea. Research vessels carry out a number of roles. Some of these roles can be combined into a single vessel but others require a dedicated vessel. Due to the demanding nature of the work, research vessels are often constructed around an icebreaker hull, allowing them to operate in polar waters.

China's 12-cable deep-water geophysical prospecting ship HaiYang Shi You 720 completed the country's first 3-dimensional seismic survey in the Arctic on Tuesday.
It is the first time that China carries out such a survey in a polar region on Earth, marking that fact that the country now has the capability to do the survey in all waters around the Earth.
The seismic vessel implemented the explorations amid complex conditions in waters at latitudes higher than 75 degrees north in the Barents Sea, more than 900 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.
"Crew of the Hai Yang Shi You 720 completed 4,100 square kilometers of 3D seismic survey in the Barents Sea within more than three months. The exploration areas are close to the North Pole and 300 kilometers away from the nearest land. As China's first geophysical prospecting ship to reach a polar region, the vessel has set a new data-collection record of 1,820 square kilometers per month," said Chen Zhiwei, crew manager of Hai Yang Shi You 720.
The vessel was built by the China Oilfield ServicesLimited (COSL), the leading integrated oilfield services providers in the Asian offshore market.

This video was collected using a camera sled towed about 1 meter over the seafloor at speeds around 1 knot. The sled is approximately 1x1x2m in size and houses two digital video cameras, one oblique and one vertical, a 8-megapixel still camera, a high-definition video camera, and paired lasers. The green lights visible in the video are the paired lasers set 15 centimeters apart and used to scale features on the seafloor.
The video was fed in real time to the research vessel, where U.S.Geological Survey (USGS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists recorded both the geologic and biologic character of the seafloor into programmable keypads once every minute. During this cruise, in addition to recording the seafloor characteristics, a digital still photograph ...

In this video, Ivan Vasconcelos covers the physical principles and practical approach of a wave-equation-based, reverse-time seismic imaging method designed to handle dual-source, four-component acoustic data. Vasconcelos et al. show that the method can naturally make use of source- and receiver-side ghosts in imaging, while bringing additional advantages such as handling finite-frequency directivity and, to some extent, multiple scattering. The concepts are illustrated with both simple and geologically complex models.

Atlantis the lost continent finally found
From a very young age Frank JosephHoff became very interested in the sciences, ancient mysteries, lost civilizations and the unknown. In 1996, Mr. Hoff met up with Richard Hoagland at a Mars conference in Seattle and started doing some pro bono research for him on his off hours. It is while doing research for Mr. Hoagland that he came across the unusual work of a Brazilian professor by the name of Prof. Arysio Nunes dos Santos (Ph.D.) on his Atlantis website (www.atlan.org) Atlantis - The Lost ContinentFinally Found.

The viability of deep-water autonomous 4C marine ocean bottom nodes OBN has been robustly established as the seismic solution of choice for obtaining high quality full azimuth images for producing fields in areas with complex overburdens (Smit et al, SEG 2008, Chou et al, SEG, 2010). Since its first use for the baseline 4D survey for the Atlantis field in the GoM in 1995/6 more than 35 surveys have been acquired in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea and West Africa. Impressive 4D results – 6% NRMS – have been reported by Shell (Stopin et al, EAGE, 2011) and recently the technology has been used to monitor the performance of water injection wells, an application which may well have widespread further demand.

Seismic Airgun Blasting Noise ( 10 Hours of Underwater ASMR )

* This is a very deep noise that is best heard on headphones or with a large subwoofer. *
While it may sound relaxing to us, these seismic blasts can be heard thousands of kilometers away and are wreaking havoc on our oceans. This sound is best to mix with other long relaxing noises, or listened to by itself to contemplate humanity's effects on the environment.
" Seismic airguns are used to find oil and gas deep underneath the ocean floor. Airguns are so loud that they disturb, injure or kill marine life, harm commercial fisheries, and disrupt coastal economies. These blasts are repeated every ten seconds, 24 hours a day, for days and weeks at a time. Seismic airgun testing currently being proposed in the Atlantic could injure 138,000 whales and dolphins and disturb millions more, acco...

In this video, Ivan Vasconcelos covers the physical principles and practical approach of a wave-equation-based, reverse-time seismic imaging method designed to handle dual-source, four-component acoustic data. Vasconcelos et al. show that the method can naturally make use of source- and receiver-side ghosts in imaging, while bringing additional advantages such as handling finite-frequency directivity and, to some extent, multiple scattering. The concepts are illustrated with both simple and geologically complex models.

Atlantis the lost continent finally found
From a very young age Frank JosephHoff became very interested in the sciences, ancient mysteries, lost civilizations and the unknown. In 1996, Mr. Hoff met up with Richard Hoagland at a Mars conference in Seattle and started doing some pro bono research for him on his off hours. It is while doing research for Mr. Hoagland that he came across the unusual work of a Brazilian professor by the name of Prof. Arysio Nunes dos Santos (Ph.D.) on his Atlantis website (www.atlan.org) Atlantis - The Lost ContinentFinally Found.
Hans Berekoven
Hans first became actively interested in looking for the Lost Continent of Atlantis in the late 1990's while serving as the Chief Officer and later as Captain of a seismic survey vessel. It was while conducting a survey of the Java Sea for an Indonesian Oil Company that the now Capt. Hans Berekoven noticed how shallow the Java Sea was, only 60 meters in depth. He also knew that in the last Ice Age sea levels were as much as 150 meters lower than today. So it started to become clear to Hans that they might be sailing over a sunken continent. So he later got together with the seismic technicians from the seismic control room and they devised a method of using seismic data to search the seabed. However the oil company would not give Capt. Hans and his seismic team the access to its archive of data because they were afraid it could make its way into the hands of their competitors, so they soon ran out of data to analyze.
J. Robin E. Harger
Dr. Robin Harger, (Ph.D.) was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1938, and spent his early years on a sheep farm in Waikato, New Zealand. He later attended the University of Auckland and The University of California, Santa Barbara where he studied marine biology and population ecology respectively. He then went on to teach experimental field ecology at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC from where he strayed into environmental activism.
It was while Dr. Harger was stationed in Paris, France and getting close to retirement he also collaborated back and forth with Brazilian Prof. Arysio Nunes dos Santos, (Ph.D.) with regards to his theories and seminal discoveries on "The Lost Continent of Atlantis" by cross checking and analyzing data that Prof. Santos had put forward to him regarding the reality of Atlantis.
Dr. Harger has just released his new book called "Atlantis: The Mother of Time" as an "E Publication" referencing the Great Pyramid at the Giza Plateau in Egypt. His previous book however is "The Journey To Enlightenment {The Way Things Are}".

The viability of deep-water autonomous 4C marine ocean bottom nodes OBN has been robustly established as the seismic solution of choice for obtaining high quality full azimuth images for producing fields in areas with complex overburdens (Smit et al, SEG 2008, Chou et al, SEG, 2010). Since its first use for the baseline 4D survey for the Atlantis field in the GoM in 1995/6 more than 35 surveys have been acquired in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea and West Africa. Impressive 4D results – 6% NRMS – have been reported by Shell (Stopin et al, EAGE, 2011) and recently the technology has been used to monitor the performance of water injection wells, an application which may well have widespread further demand.
New clock technology has improved the operating lifetime of the nodes and this, coupled with the ability to control the nodes remotely, can provide a semi-permanent reservoir surveillance capability that is inherently more flexible and has lower costs than cable based permanent seismic reservoir monitoring systems.

Offshore Seismic Surveying

Some of the richest energy reserves in the world are just off our US shores waiting to be discovered in a government owned area lying just 3 - 200 miles out to sea. An advanced exploration technique called seismic surveying is the first step to unlock this precious resource needed to ensure America's energy security.

A Seismic Vessel at Work.wmv

Seismic vessels are able to cover vast areas of the ocean by using streamers. Here, you can see how much one vessel is able to cover with their streamers. The ability to cover such an amount of area allows companies to find oil more efficiently.

The Polarcus Naila, is almost 20,000 feet long including her arrays. That makes her one long ship as she’s moving across the oceans with zero downtime. And with an operating cost of 200,000 dollars a day, this vessel can’t afford to stop moving.

Chinese Ship Completes First 3D Seismic Survey in Arctic Waters

China's 12-cable deep-water geophysical prospecting ship HaiYang Shi You 720 completed the country's first 3-dimensional seismic survey in the Arctic on Tuesday.
It is the first time that China carries out such a survey in a polar region on Earth, marking that fact that the country now has the capability to do the survey in all waters around the Earth.
The seismic vessel implemented the explorations amid complex conditions in waters at latitudes higher than 75 degrees north in the Barents Sea, more than 900 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.
"Crew of the Hai Yang Shi You 720 completed 4,100 square kilometers of 3D seismic survey in the Barents Sea within more than three months. The exploration areas are close to the North Pole and 300 kilometers away from the nearest land. As China's first geophysical prospecting ship to reach a polar region, the vessel has set a new data-collection record of 1,820 square kilometers per month," said Chen Zhiwei, crew manager of Hai Yang Shi You 720.
The vessel was built by the China Oilfield ServicesLimited (COSL), the leading integrated oilfield services providers in the Asian offshore market.

[Seismic channel] Life on board- Research ship

A research vessel (RV or R/V) is a ship or boat designed and/or equipped to carry out research at sea. Research vessels carry out a number of roles. Some of these roles can be combined into a single vessel but others require a dedicated vessel. Due to the demanding nature of the work, research vessels are often constructed around an icebreaker hull, allowing them to operate in polar waters.

Disaster planners set to benefit from research ship's seismic survey off New Zealand's East Coast

"Unprecedented" 3D imagery of Hikurangi subduction zone hopes to hold the key to secrets of "slow slip" quakes.
The US research vessel, the Marcus Langseth with a group of international scientists on board, has arrived back in the port of Napier after five weeks away mapping fault lines off the North Island's East Coast.
"It's not just a map it's even better than that, it helps us make a 3D image of the subduction system so we can see all the faults in their complexity," lead geophysicist Dr Harold Tobin told 1 NEWS.
Researchers have been setting off over 40 sound sources in the water attached to 24 kilometres of cables with pressure sensors attached called seismic streamers.
They record the echoes that bounce back off the ocean bed.
The data is recorded every 30 seconds every day for 30 days, creating a detailed map of layers beneath the sea floor.
"We can see the strong spots or the week spots on the fault or the places where it's got complex structure and places it's got simple structure and all that helps seismologist and geologist."
It's hoped the mapping will help better understand the phenomenon of "slow slip" earthquakes which occurring frequently in the Hikurangi subduction zone.
Dr Dan Barker from GNS Science who has been on the vessel the past five weeks says the shaking from "slow slip" earthquakes isn't felt.

#oilwire - Schlumberger has announced that WesternGeco has completed a hybrid seismic acquisition survey using their newly deployed multi-purpose vessel (MPV)—a first in the industry. The 340 km2 3D seismic survey was acquired offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, for Roc Oil using a triple source array with simultaneous recording by ocean-bottom nodes and a towed-streamer spread, all from a single seismic vessel.
The WG Vespucci MPV acquired the high-quality ocean-bottom seismic (OBS) data required around existing platform obstructions supplemented by streamer seismic data. Simultaneously acquiring the OBS and streamer data without having to employ multiple acquisition vessels and crews resulted in cost reduction and greater efficiency while achieving the survey objectives.

Former Green Party co-leader Russel Norman has jumped into the chilly seas off Wairarapa to obstruct an oil survey ship today.
Along with two others Dr Norman, who is now the chief executive of Greenpeace, jumped into the ocean in the path of the seismic survey ship AmazonWarrior.
Greenpeace said this afternoon that after asking the ship to halt over the radio yesterday, they had today sent swimmers into the water, forcing the Amazon Warrior to deviate from its path and potentially disrupting its survey operations.
The environmental group is conducting these activities because it says seismic surveying is damaging to marine life, including whales, and also because the discovery of oil could mean a deep-water drilling operation could take place, potentially damaging the environment

The sled is approximately 1x1x2m in size and houses two digital video cameras, one oblique and one vertical, a 8-megapixel still camera, a high-definition video camera, and paired lasers. The green lights visible in the video are the paired lasers set 15 centimeters apart and used to scale features on the seafloor.
The video was fed in real time to the research vessel, where U.S.Geological Survey (USGS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists recorded both the geologic and biologic character of the seafloor into programmable keypads once every minute. During this cruise, in addition to recording the seafloor characteristics, a digital still photograph was captured every 10 - 30 seconds.

In this video, Ivan Vasconcelos covers the physical principles and practical approach of a wave-equation-based, reverse-time seismic imaging method designed to handle dual-source, four-component acoustic data. Vasconcelos et al. show that the method can naturally make use of source- and receiver-side ghosts in imaging, while bringing additional advantages such as handling finite-frequency directivity and, to some extent, multiple scattering. The concepts are illustrated with both simple and geologically complex models.
